One of the best Polish regional restaurants in Zakopane!!…read more Karczma przy Młynie is located a little bit outside of the main town/main street of Zakopane, only 5 minutes away by car. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, the decor is very typical for the mountain region in Poland. Great heavy wooden tables and chairs, wood burning stoves, fireplaces, stone walls. Everything we ate in Karczma was delicious and the portions absolutely satisfying! We tried couple different dishes including potatoes, sausages, goulash, potato pancakes with mushroom sauce! Yum! - take a look at the pictures I uploaded :) The service was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Karczma przy Mlynie for your lunch or dinner when you're visiting beautiful Zakopane!

That alone makes this place awesome. Easy parking, the building makes you feel like you're in 16th century with dinner by candlelight only, it was hard to read the menu because candlelight is dim but part of the fun and experience. The bacon salad, soup, and pierogis were amazing. Then the village sausage and baked potato with garlic sauce for an entrée, all were done exceptionally well and tasty plus they came out fast. This was my first try at authentic polish food, or what I like to believe is authentic polish food and it was all amazing! Go to this place.

Don't forget that you're still just a tourist. The crew that works at Bąkowo Zohylina Niźnio are the best. They know how to be very personal and compassionate. Just remember to eat and drink a lot. I don't think any of the servers would mind if you want to take a few selfies with them. It's part of the show. Plus, if it makes you happy, why not?! Tip generously :). It's worth checking what time the live band is playing. Don't miss it. Definitely make a reservation. Especially on weekends and holidays. However, I wouldn't recommend visiting Zakopane on national holidays or in the summer months. It's just very crowded with visitors.

We started our meal with sheep cheese and cranberry sauce. A local meal that you will find in all of the restaurants here. We ended up ordering potato pancakes and meat goulash. The goulash was sandwiched between the potato cakes. For dessert we had a cheesecake topped with chocolate. It was delicious and paired well with a warm cup of coffee. We enjoyed the local music group composed of 4 string players. They performed a variety of songs from slow to fast paced renditions and it really was a treat. Great place and we hope to be back!

Disappointing. We decided to try this place based on the few but good reviews it has received, but…read moreunfortunately it just didn't hold up. Some of the waitresses had an unpleasant attitude and others kept messing up and forgetting our order (which was simple: one starter to share and two main courses). First we shared a krupnik soup which was really wonderful and authentic. For mains I got the kasza with mushrooms and onions and my partner got the pork tenderloin one. He almost chipped his tooth on some small stones (we hope it was stones) that were in his kasza, and I received a fabric tag saying "MADE IN CHINA" in my surowka. Ugh. Both kaszas were dry, bland and not well seasoned, and the pork tenderloin was served with a TON of kasza and DROWNED in gravy, possibly to hide the fact that there wasn't really that much meat in the dish. Being polish, I have tasted most of these dishes several times throughout my life and this, except for the krupnik, was just not impressive. You get a lot of food for your money and kasza is very filling, but don't expect a culinary experience.

Waittress showed up promptly to hand us menus, shortly afterwards took our order, which materialized quite quickly. The kasza with chicken came with a sweet tasting kapusta kiszona, not what I am used to. Kapusta kiszona should be sour. The kasza was dry, the curry chicken was kind of ok, but overcooked as well. The kapuszniak was not fantastic, we've had better. The polędwiczki, porkloin, were oversauced, but did come with plenty of baked potatoes and shredded carrot surówka. The pancakes, again, were uninteresting. The staff serving us was kind of uninterested, kind of harried, in a hurry to close up perhaps. No goodbye in return to ours when we left. All in all, a rather disappointing experience for 135 zl.

I did not look at reviews or anything else, sometimes a place just sings to you and this place had a soprano like an Operatic singer from beginning to end. I cannot imagine where the crescendo ends and begins because this place is buzzing with activity. Hats off to ALL the staff because every single woman, and I say that because I never saw a "male" servant the entire time, for running around up/down the small 2nd level balcony seating with plates o'plenty. I can say this because I had a birds eye view right next to the "fireplace" which is near the staircase. Hands-down, this is the best Pierogi Ruski I have ever had. I even dissected it to see where the flavors began and ended and it looked all the same!! I am floored and in awe of the cook here or "cooks." Thank you. I drove here from Krakow to Zapilnie to Zacopane and we landed here for dinner and you did not disappoint in ANY aspect. Your service - 10 stars Your food and wait time - 10 stars Your flavor and drinks - 11 stars Quite honestly, this is and will always be "my place" to go when I am in Zacopane, now I understand the wait out the door. We passed it once for this reason and kept walking and then we circled back to see if the line was gone. We were asked to wait maybe "2mins" at most at the door and these ladies took great care. During our 2 hour time here, I saw a lot which impressed me. I wish all service met this level. The staff travel up and down stairs with trays all day and they maintain this positive level of service. On top of this, the decor and music is excellent. I adore this place and will be back for Christmas. Dziekuje! Thank you!!!!
